• Björnen GPS: 63.388655,13.153193 — Family friendly and laid back. Featuring long blue slopes and a big children's area.
• Central Åre and Högzon GPS: 63.399068,13.080972 (High zone) (Also including Rödkullen) — The biggest area, where also most of the people are which sometimes means there are long queues to the lifts.Best before lunch, when the pistes are in their prime condition and many people have not gotten out of their cabins yet.
• Duved-Tegefjäll GPS: 63.400828,12.976438 — Some of the best slopes in the entire system. Long, perfect slopes and not many people. The 6-chair express lift takes you to the top in no-time.
